    Winemaker Notes

    The palate is clean and linear, with long, chalky acidity. Classic gooseberry and passion fruit flavors combine with mineral characteristics to form a complete palate; layered and expressive.

    Squealing Pig is a tale about a pig who wanted more from life than just his pig pen. Keen on wine, but not a fan of the bore that you get with it, in 2010 they trotted off on an adventure to the Squealing Pig Vineyard in Marlborough, New Zealand, to make Sauvignon Blanc with personality. Eager to experiment with fresh varieties and styles, the pig soon spread their wings south to Central Otago, before globetrotting the world.

    No matter where this little pig goes, the Squealing Pig ethos remains the same: to make delicious wines that are approachable, flavor-packed and pair brilliantly with no-fuss foods. And to have more fun than anyone else doing it.

    Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

    An icon and leading region of New Zealand's distinctive style of Sauvignon blanc, Marlborough has a unique terroir, making it ideal for high quality grape production (of many varieties). Despite some common generalizations, which could be fairly justified given that Marlborough is responsible for 90% of New Zealand's Sauvignon blanc production, the wines from this region are actually anything but homogenous. At the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, the vineyards of Marlborough benefit from well-draining, stony soils, a dry, sunny climate and wide temperature fluctuations between day and night, a phenomenon that supports a perfect balance between berry ripeness and acidity.

    The region’s king variety, Sauvignon blanc, is beloved for its pungent, aromatic character with notes of exotic tropical fruit, freshly cut grass and green bell pepper along with a refreshing streak of stony minerality. These wines are made in a wide range of styles, and winemakers take advantage of various clones, vineyard sites, fermentation styles, lees-stirring and aging regimens to differentiate their bottlings, one from one another.

    Also produced successfully here are fruit-forward Pinot noirs (especially where soils are clay-rich), elegant Riesling, Pinot gris and Gewürztraminer.
